"I felt heard and understood"

Following years of attending Forth Valley rheumatology I had the good fortune and pleasure of having an appointment with consultant rheumatologist, Dr Johnson. 

She was fabulous, like night and day compared to previous doctors I have seen. She actually listened. She took time to understand how my condition was impacting me. She then talked me through diagnosis as well as arranging new meds and undertaking bloods.

Although there is no quick fix for my condition, I felt heard and understood. Like for once it's not all in my head. She provided leaflets for information and made sure I was aware I could contact if needed further guidance.

I cannot thank her enough. She truly is an asset to Forth Valley.
